It's basically the same game as Gears 1. Also I hate that there's no health meter.

Yea, its more realistic, but its so different from the first one, it doesnt work as well. DON'T EVEN GET ME STARTED ON THE SMOKE GRENADES.
The thing that really pisses me off here though is the matchmaking. Why fix what isnt broken? I don't like the integration of player and ranked matches, I'm a leaderboard junky, andi dont like how when i want to just fool around with some friends, it affects my stats. Games only to 5? Wtf? I enjoyed having an hour long game, first to 15. That along with weapon cycles allow for no realt strategies to develop before the match is over. And i dont feel like playing with jsut my friends to ahve these luxories, I want to pwn some people i dont know. The voting system blows. Completely unnecessary if we just kept the original so you could pick the exact stats you want.
On the Epic forum... they will ban you for this under the context of "Compare a Holic"

It's sad really... everybody has been posting stuff like this since release... and no efforts are being made.

And its the g@y dash that attracts me to it... the game seems to be alot more enjoyable when played with friends that know WTF to do. Winning seems to help out my opinion of the game... I've still lost more matches than I've won but I'm getting closer to closing that gap =D thankfully I had a few friends that were GoW1 addicts and got me to play GoW2, and they showed me the ropes of it... only to find out that GoW1 != GoW2 ... pure lolz... horde helped me out tons as well.

Ya, it does reward those who know the maps as well... another feature that attracts... the game rewards those players that put their time into it... something most gamers don't find appealing... which is cool as well. I am definitely going to be one the Mod Warfare 2 wagon. After I unlock all the weapons though the game seems to eventually fade out of my fancy... then its GEARS GEARS GEARS!!!!

Their are also websites where you can see the map layout of it and it tells you the best conceptual strategies per gametype. Prima or w/e

Overall, its a mind game at the speed of war... Gotta know what you are going to ATTEMPT to do before the round even starts... thats definitely what makes the game hardcore... you gotta have good teammates... I don't even mess with picking up random people anymore, unless our team is short, but we usually can make up for the newblit we pick up as long as they don't play like a complete jackass.

As soon as I dropped the 2-piece from my main arsenal I improved 100 fold... and the shotty is still my #1 weapon according to GoW2 stat page. Aim and shoot the shotty =) It really works better IMO.

2,877 kills with shotty out of a total 8,735 PvP (I have 18,600 overall) kills... I'm diversified with a 1.35 KD ratio which really just proves I'm average LOL.

I'd post pic of it here but I don't think I can... or I just don't know how.
